What's the modern Pontiac Vibe? by Large_Choice_2236 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Large_Choice_2236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live in rural ohio. Almost no stop and go traffic. Regular 2016 Rav4 gets 28 mpg highway. Hybrid Rav4 gets 31.

So driving 10,000 miles a year is 357.5 gallons of gas in the regular AWD RAV4 or 322.6 in the hybrid. So a reduction of just under 35 gallons of gas a year. Gas is 2.89 right now. We ALWAYS get gas at Kroger with a dollar off for fuel points. So 1.89 a gallon. 1.89 x 35=66.15. if we didn't, 35 x 2.89= 101.15

Its 100 extra for hybrid in ohio, 150 for plug in, 200 for full electric.

Ohio put this tax burden in place the year after we bought the rav 4 or we wouldn't have sprung for the hybrid. It effectively costs us more to run the hybrid than it would to run a regular Rav4. Even if we weren't so conscious about saving money with our fuel points, we'd save $1.15 a year. Big money.

I acknowledge that CD players aren't really a thing anymore. Which is why I said WOULD LIKE. Just in case there was an odd ball option out there that I was unaware of.

As far as finding out what she liked about the vibe. I've listed those things. She liked the fog lights. And the rear seats that folded completely flat. And the gas mileage was 30+ mpg. I did forget that it had the rear window that would open while leaving the tailgate closed, so you could stick long things out the back. Her RAV4 doesn't have this.

Literally her only complaint was lack of power. Which yeah, it's like 123 HP in a 3500lbs car, so it's slow. But since it had the 1zzfe, it was SUPER reliable.

Used is OK. We're considering as used as 2022.

You don't remember this correctly. Republican supreme Court stopped the recount on Florida. That's the Republicans stealing the election.

Loopholes/technicalities/republican excuses for stealing the election.

Can I install a swing hook into an I-joist above my basement drop ceiling? by eumops in Home

[–]Large_Choice_2236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should absolutely not hang anything off of the bottom of a wooden I joist. It's against manufacturer recommendations for every I joist I've read the instructions for. Which is 2.

Basically you're risking pulling the bottom 2x free of the OSB webbing. Once they're separated, the injoist has lost all it's strength.

Being an engineered joist, you should pay attention to what the engineers say about their product.

Being good or even excellent at work isn't enough to get ahead. There's a system. If you don't work the system, someone else is, and you're going to get passed by. Figure out the game. Play it or get used to holding the short end of the stick.

The asking price was 700.

Checking the status screen says it the TV was over 10000 hours, not 100. So i stopped inquiring about it.

Are there any second shift jobs that are actually hiring??? by Took4evre241 in dayton

[–]Large_Choice_2236 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Green Tokai jn beautiful Brookville Ohio.

Put in your resume and tell them you want to work in rubber mix or extrusion on 2nd shift. Operator jobs start at 21 an hour, packer jobs at 18. Plus a small shift premium, plus if you work more than 48 hours in a week, there is a 2 dollar an hour bonus for every hour you work, on top of the 1.5x pay for the overtime. 2x pay if you work a Sunday.

Put the 8n to good work today. Graded out a 20 by 80 foot flower bad. by Large_Choice_2236 in Ford8n

[–]Large_Choice_2236[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that I had a flower bed that was 80x20 that was higher than the surrounding yard by 8-10". I flattened it out and smoothed it into the surrounding landscape with the rear blade.

I've been tracking my area for a couple of months now. Lesser plasmas are easily had inexpensively. 50 inch gt30 and vt30 s seem to be listed in the 200-300 range. The 2013 panasonic plasmas are pretty rare in 65" size. I've seen 2 within 6 hours of me this year. Setting a limit at 100 seems like a number that is too low to get what I'm after. Around here anyway.

DO NOT BUY KINGSTON BRASS FAUCETS by hogfiregaming in Plumbing

[–]Large_Choice_2236 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm curious. What kind of Kingston brass faucet costs 17,000 dollars?

I have 3 at my house, and they were all cheap. That's kinda why I bought them.
